What Techniques are Used to Study Tissue Specialization?
Histologists use various techniques to study tissue specialization, including:
Microscopy: Light and electron microscopy are used to observe the detailed structures of specialized tissues. Staining: Staining techniques such as H&E (Hematoxylin and Eosin) and immunohistochemistry help visualize different cell types and structures within tissues. Molecular Biology: Techniques like PCR, Western blotting, and in situ hybridization are used to study gene expression and protein localization in specialized cells.
